Convert Kilopascals to Pascals
1 kilopascal is 1,000 Pa. One kilopascal is exactly 1000 pascals.
One kilopascal is 1000 pascals. To convert kilopascals to pascals, multiply by 1000; to go the other way, divide by 1000 or multiply by 0.001. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. A thousand pascals, and the unit metric tyre placards and weather stations use.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Special Publication 811 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert kilopascals to pascals?
- 1.Take the measurement in kilopascals.
- 2.Multiply by 1000 — that is how many pascals fit in one kilopascal.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 1000, or multiply by 0.001.
Worked example: 25 kilopascals to pascals
- Formula
- kPa × 1000 = Pa
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 1000 = 25,000 Pa
- Answer
- 25 kPa = 25,000 Pa
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

What is a kilopascal?
A thousand pascals, and the unit metric tyre placards and weather stations use. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101 kPa.
What is a pascal?
The SI unit: one newton spread over one square metre. It is a small pressure — a sheet of paper resting on a table is about one pascal — which is why the kilopascal is what instruments actually read.
How many pascals are in a kilopascal?
One kilopascal is 1000 pascals, exactly. Going the other way, one pascal is 0.001 kilopascals. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
